RMXPU Chat using Sockets

[Marked 197]

Hi all,

 

For those who don't know anything about web development, you should be probably close this now coz you're probably gona hate this :P

 

The following is from a tutorial, so its not my code, and its obviously just core functionality on display here. So what we're looking at is the delivery of messages. It doesn't use any of our resources. For those of you who use chat, you know that the entire site sometimes dies and shows the error message "mysql query limit exceeded". This doesn't even use mysql (thank goodness).

 

What I'd like to do is fully integrate it like our current chat. So you have to login with your account, emoticons, bbcode, chat mods etc.

 

Here it is: http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/chat/

It would be neat to have to login but since you can just put any name in I don't think it would work unless we had to be required to use are passwords. It also looks very very bland.

lol. Is it suppose to look like this?

Only takes up like 10% of my screen. Looks like a nice chat system. Better than having chat break the site all the time.

 

When i signed on someone was already signed in as pol?

[Wyzrd 12]

Haha that's exactly how it looked for me too. And yea I seen Pol. I thought that was you haha. I didn't say anything though I just closed the chat though.

This is why I said if you dont have web dev knowledge (ie know about sockets) you're gona hate it. This is in the programming forum.

 

This would be a demo of the core chat functionality that we could use to develop from. Yes it doesnt have any features and looks horrible.

I think it's great thus far. At ~110 lines of javascript (core script anyways), I think this is SHNAZZY (yesh, of course I looked through it :3) loads of potential to build upon.

This is gona be one of the best chat systems around when its finished.. I got it working on GDU, and its already member integrated.

 

 

It actually utilizes a processional service which you can pay for (if you're popular enough I guess)

 

But the beauty of it is that you have full control over everything, look most API's that you hook into it.

Wow, looking really good so far Mark!

[Polraudio 122]

Looks very awesome. Cant wait!

[Marked 197]

I would love to show you guys the integration but since its using php5.3 I can't till we switch over, which won't be until GDU goes live.

 

I'm glad you think that looks good, coz its way below my standards :)

[Wyzrd 12]

Well you can always keep working on it if you don't like Mark! And just see what happens. :-p But it does look good.

Ok I think I should clear this up :P The original code is from a tutorial which came with a little css (but just enough to see things clearly, the tut is about working with the socket service) so there was absolutely no design, and my above screenie has just a little more css than the original. So yeah, I was going to wait to a convert my theme to use a grid system for the layout. I decided to go with a new one that has tons of stuff for mobile support, ip(a/o)ds and the like.

 

My integration is pretty cool though. But I can't test it with anyone :'(
